[cheers and applause] i love how they bleat over the national debt. they are so concerned about it now. mitt romney, when asked if he had a plan to reduce the national debt if it included $10 in reduction of federal spending and $1 in the reduction of the debt, he said no. this is not on the level. these guys are not about to vote to reduce the national debt or have a plan if it requires millionaires to pay a cent. the amazing thing is that they are concerned. what is even more amazing, i watched at their convention, is that they have discovered the middle class. it was like, my god, there's a middle class. there it is. there it is. i never heard those guys use the phrase "middle class" more probably in their whole lives than they did at that conventio

the united states one month later. despite the many differences between our two countries, we have some important similarities. both presidents might deny this, but it is true. both countries are debating the fundamental relationship between state and society. what guarantees that our governments will nprovide to all our citizens, and especially the most vulnerable? who would pay for the guarantees? what mechanisms need to be strengthened to ensure that courtroom and rights and fundamental fairness are protected? these are fundamental issues, and neither country is handling the debate very well. the elections are influenced by another unfortunate policy that our two countries share. the united states and venezuela are anomalies, holdouts in the hemisphere in that they do not provide public financing for political campaigns. as a matter of fact, the u.s. does offer public financing for presidential campaigns, which my opponents and i accepted with a running for office. but now the candice reject the financing and the li
